if you elect obama. i happen to believe that's true and that's why i'm not reluctant president obama, but it sounded very forward-looking slogan about what that romie will do. again, it's hard to blame a guy who wants to get reelected with a pretty narrow casting approach to democratic and independent constituencies to try and scare them about the want them women and all that. the question is am a little less pessimistic that that means they can't govern effectively because i do think reality matters as we've been saying. we will have a cliff and all kinds of ways. the real cliff and 2013 is we can't sustain this deficit for too long. we can't keep printing money and expecting the world to take it. the economy is slow and may be going into another depth. there are foreign policy challenges. i think the next president will have a moment between november 7. i agree, he has to begin in the summer fall of 2013 to do a lot. i would bet contrary to conventional wisdom that would be huge legislative agenda. i t

miions of u were waiting this week for mitt romney and barack obama to connect with reality, to connect with the lives we actually live. it didn't happen. the 90-minute debate went by, for example, without a word about immigration. not a thing said about the countless people trapped in our muddled policy. and this in colorado, a swing state, where both romney and obama have been courting the large hispanic vote. that wouldn't have happened if my guest on this week's broadcast had been moderating the debate, but their participation was rejected by the tiny group of insiders who set the rules. that's a shame because george ram mows and maria elena sorena are two of the most popular journalists. they work for the most important spanish language network in the country, univision. i met them for the first time earlier this week when they were in town to receive the emmy award for lifetime achievement from the national academy of television arts and sciences. here's part of the video presentation that introduced them to the emmy audience. >> they're two of the most well-recognized journalists
